Someone suggested that my dog may be part Basenji

  • We got Caddis around Christmas 2013 that we were told was a Shepard-collie mix and was originally purchased from a Mennonite farm. She is a very happy dog, she "yips" a lot and does this high pitch scream often but she is able to bark. She is about knee-high. Her tail curls to the left (if you are looking at her from behind). Oh and she is a habs fan. I thought you might have some suggestions to look for. The person that told us about Basenji's thought she might be a mix with a collie.

  • Yes, she could be, but also X shiba or any primitive breed with a curly tail ! Anyway, she looks beautiful, and I hope you'll have as much fun with her that I do have with my basenji (12 years old, rescued when she was 4 months old). Enjoy that funny girl ! From France,, Tosca and Magali

    I used Wisdom Panel for my assumed Basenji mix. It showed no basenji at all. My boy is 32 lbs and short hair. His DNA says he is 25% American Eskimo 12.5% Boston Terrier 12.5% Chow Chow 12.5% German Shepherd 12.5% Miniature Schnauzer 25% Breed Group-Sporting, Herding, Hound, Terrier. Having owned basenjis all my life I would say my boy has basenji in him by his personality and behavior regardless of what his dna says!!

    @DebraDownSouth He's generally extremely quiet but he does yap(more like a small dog bark) at certain individuals.

    I am so sorry about your brother. Yes, seems he was meant to be with your family. If you get a chance, record his vocalizations. We really love pictures and videos!
